Successful sitcom spin-offs--Frasier, Laverne & Shirley--give their lead characters new challenges and foils and find a fresh voice that suits them. In this show, Joey Tribbiani, Matt LeBlanc's sweet-hearted dope, heads West to jump-start his career and reconnect with his equally Noo Yawky sister Gina (The Sopranos' Drea de Matteo). We also meet his nephew Michael (Paulo Costanzo), a rocket scientist; his sharky agent, Bobbie (one-woman brass band Jennifer Coolidge); and his bland, pretty, married neighbor Alex (Andrea Anders). But none of these types are fresh or memorable. There's no Niles. Not even...
...called, he immediately launched into a diatribe on why there are so few Republican rockers, talking for eight uninterrupted minutes, several times working himself into a screaming frenzy, once about colonial British taxes. Nuge also burped twice. Amid this rant, Nuge mentioned--three times--that unlike the Kerry-loving, dope-smoking hippie rockers on tour, he believes in living by the Ten Commandments.

Kerry muted his attacks on Bush during the Abu Ghraib prison-abuse scandal and the Marines' embarrassing retreat from Fallujah. I suspect these moves were intentional--part of the newly confident Kerry's grand design for the campaign: to lie low until July, when he announced his running mate in exactly the manner that he intended, and then to make the grand step...
...entrance to the main newsroom. Foreigners usually need layers of approval to arrange a visit-but not John Terenzio. During a recent news broadcast, the American media consultant sat casually among a team of Chinese producers in the control room critiquing the show. "I thought maybe I was a dope to go for two anchors," Terenzio observes, "but I wanted to build a bit of chemistry." When news presenters Chris Gelken and Jacqueline Chan abandon their scripts to banter amiably about the stock market, he's pleased that the chemistry appears to be working.
